CUSTOM LAYOUT - mapping of new user fields

I recently made a custom layout. Formed new user fields too. I must have missed a step, because now I can't run any reports, export the information, or utilize anything from the info on those user fields. Need more help

Re: CUSTOM LAYOUT - mapping of new user fields

I have the ACT! 2010 version. In the layout section, under the tabs (personal information, etc) I used the "user fields" and formatted them for information. These user fields cannot be used in any reporting, searches or anything. Essentially, they can only be viewed when I choose that contact.
